Grit is the differentiating factor, that intangible essence, that sets high achievers apart; it&#8217;s the blend of passion, perseverance, and stamina to turn dreams into reality. \r\n\r\nPrior to Index, Jahanvi worked at Stripes, a growth equity firm in New York where she invested in cybersecurity, fintech, and application SaaS companies. Before that, she began her career in private equity at Aquiline Capital Partners. \r\n\r\nShe holds a B.S. in Finance and Business Analytics from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-buttons event-speakers-modal__speaker-view-bio is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--21\"><a data-ctaText=\"View Bio\" data-destinationLink=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/author\/jahanvi-sardana\/\" data-event=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/author\/jahanvi-sardana\/\" aria-label=\"View bio of Jahanvi Sardana\">View Bio<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker splide__slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-top js-speaker-top\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-image__img\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DL20250425-229-1.jpeg?w=668\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDarrell West Avatar\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-name\">Darrell West<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCo-Founder &amp; CFO, DepositLink Inc.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-socials js-speaker-socials\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DarrellWest2363\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-social\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"var(--c-svg, currentColor)\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19.414 4.188a.68.68 0 0 1 .038.99l-5.775 5.965 6.172 7.73a.68.68 0 0 1 .076.736.73.73 0 0 1-.654.391h-3.885a.74.74 0 0 1-.578-.274l-4.266-5.343-5.22 5.394a.75.75 0 0 1-1.03.035.68.68 0 0 1-.037-.99l5.387-5.565-6.491-8.13a.68.68 0 0 1-.076-.736A.73.73 0 0 1 3.73 4h3.885a.74.74 0 0 1 .578.274l4.586 5.743 5.607-5.794a.75.75 0 0 1 1.03-.035Zm-8.185 8.756a.7.7 0 0 0-.112-.14L5.207 5.4h2.048l10.539 13.198h-2.049l-4.516-5.655Z\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\/><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Twitter<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/darrell-west-55622526\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-social\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"var(--c-svg, currentColor)\" d=\"M20 20v-6.371a3.92 3.92 0 0 0-3.919-3.919c-1.022 0-2.212.625-2.789 1.563V9.938H9.938V20h3.354v-5.926c0-.926.746-1.683 1.671-1.683a1.683 1.683 0 0 1 1.683 1.683V20zM6.032 8.051a2.02 2.02 0 0 0 2.02-2.02A2.026 2.026 0 0 0 6.031 4 2.03 2.03 0 0 0 4 6.032c0 1.118.914 2.02 2.032 2.02ZM7.702 20V9.938h-3.33V20z\"\/><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Linkedin<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"event-speakers-modal__speaker-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDarrell West has over 40 years of combined experience working in accounting, finance, and private equity.
